Answer:
The first male was bb Ee, and the second male was bb EE.
Explanation:
In Labradors coat colour is controlled by two genes. Suppose the two genes are B and E. B produces black colour and recessive form bb gives brown colour. Gene E is epistatic over gene B in its recessive form which means that ee will produce yellow colour regardless of the genotype present of B gene.
The first case is possible if the female lab is bbee (yellow) and the male lab is bbEe (brown):
bbee X bbEe
bE be
be bbEe bbee
So half of the offspring will be brown (bbEe) and half of them will be yellow (bbee)
The second case is possible if the same female bbee mates with a brown male of different genotype which can be bbEE:
bbee X bbEE
bE
be bbEe
So all offspring will be brown (bbEe)
Hence, the first male was bbEe and the second male was bbEE.
Answer:
Number of bacteria cells = 2621440 cells
Explanation:
The generation time of a bacteria specie is the time it takes for a population of bacteria to double in number. The generation time for most common bacteria is quite short, about 20 minutes to 1 hour.
Bacteria reproduce asexually by binary fission, in which the parent cell divides into two to produce two identical daughter cells.
In the given question, the generation time of the bacterial species is 20 minutes.
The time that have passed from between the time the sandwich was packed at 6:00 am to lunch time by 12:00 pm is 6 hours.
Using the given formula in the hint: number of cells = 2^(ab) × C
Where a = number of times per hour the bacteria reproduces; b = number of hours; C = number of bacteria at the start
a = 60 minutes/ 20 minutes = 3; b = 6; C = 10
Number of cells = 2^(3 × 6) × 10
Number of cells = 2621440 cells
The answers are yeast and penicillium.
Some yeasts are used in medicine, for example, some Saccharomyces species, Candida species, etc. They are used for the production of some amino acids, vitamins (C, B2), some proteins (insulin). Penicillium is used for production of antibiotics.
